This story has been developing in the past our soul. Is being granted

:00:17.:00:31.

merrily released by a parole board after serving nine of the 33 year

:00:32.:00:40.

jail sentence for armed robbery. They have shut them the largest

:00:41.:00:44.

marketplace on the dark web. Here is the US Attorney General. This is the

:00:45.:00:52.

largest dark market web takedown in world history. That is Jeff

:00:53.:00:57.

Sessions, a loyalist to Donald Trump, but today the president

:00:58.:01:02.

attacked him for his decision to stand down from any Russia

:01:03.:01:06.

investigations. A general strike in Venezuela, the

:01:07.:01:12.

latest effort to oust the government, and a new study suggests

:01:13.:01:17.

main things we can all do to decrease the chances of dementia.

:01:18.:01:34.

The second round of Brexit talks wrapped up today and we will hear

:01:35.:01:39.

from both sides. First of all the UK.

:01:40.:01:46.

All in all, the second round of negotiations have given us much to

:01:47.:01:52.

be positive about and also outlined the need for both sides to

:01:53.:01:55.

demonstrate a dynamic and flexible approach to how we approach these

:01:56.:02:01.

challenges. We have conducted this at peace. To coin a phrase, the

:02:02.:02:05.

clock is ticking. Mr Barnier said that there

:02:06.:02:08.

was a 'fundamental divergence' We require this clarification on the

:02:09.:02:26.

financial settlement, oils and citizens rights and Ireland. And on

:02:27.:02:33.

the other separation issues. So let's try and see what has changed

:02:34.:02:34.

since the beginning of the week. The two sides still need

:02:35.:02:36.

to resolve the issues of whether or not the UK has to pay

:02:37.:02:38.

an exit bill, and how much that might be, citizens' rights and how

:02:39.:02:42.

they'll be adjudicated, as well as issues around the border

:02:43.:02:44.

between Northern Ireland The Spectator magazine

:02:45.:02:46.

calls this a stalemate. Opinions differ on

:02:47.:02:59.

whose fault this is. This op ed in the Times blames

:03:00.:03:04.

the EU side 'EU's Barnier and Verhofstadt are out

:03:05.:03:07.

to punish Britain. This

:03:08.:03:17.

is a Ben Jennings cartoon his take is that the British

:03:18.:03:18.

are incompetent compared to the EU. Our Europe editor's written a piece

:03:19.:03:26.

about Michel Barnier by the way, if you want to find out

:03:27.:03:29.

more about him. I can strongly recommend this, all

:03:30.:03:38.

about him and the approach he is bringing to these Brexit

:03:39.:03:42.

negotiations. She is in Brussels and hear the sad assessment. The last

:03:43.:03:48.

time the men met it was pretty much a getting to know you session is

:03:49.:03:52.

this week was the first week where the working group sat down and tried

:03:53.:03:55.

to tackle some of those difficult issue is. Modest progress. Both

:03:56.:04:00.

sides managed to come up with a joint paper on citizens rights,

:04:01.:04:05.

colour-coded to show further was agreement and disagreement and we

:04:06.:04:08.

have too underlined the fact there will be lots of these negotiating

:04:09.:04:12.

sessions and we can't expect all of them to end in harmony. Some big

:04:13.:04:20.

sticking points. The European Court of Justice, the court the EU has to

:04:21.:04:26.

safeguard its laws, so for example Brussels is seeing when it comes to

:04:27.:04:30.

the rights of EU citizens, that court still has to have jurisdiction

:04:31.:04:34.

and the UK court says absolutely not. It is hard to see how they meet

:04:35.:04:40.

on that point but what you have in both sides are two men who want a

:04:41.:04:46.

deal and who know that they need a deal and they will work to get one.

:04:47.:04:50.

I have been reading the article you wrote about Michel Barnier. You

:04:51.:05:00.

quote one magazine calling it Juncker's revenge. That was very

:05:01.:05:05.

much when he was nominated for this role because he has worn many courts

:05:06.:05:10.

before in the French government and then the European Commission. He was

:05:11.:05:15.

the Commissioner for the European single market and he clashed with

:05:16.:05:20.

the City of London. He wanted to cap bankers bonuses and they called him

:05:21.:05:27.

the most dangerous man in Europe. What has been interesting since he

:05:28.:05:31.

has taken this job that has been very little criticism of him in the

:05:32.:05:37.

UK or amongst EU countries and honestly speaking they are very

:05:38.:05:39.

critical of what happens in Brussels. He is seen as a serious

:05:40.:05:44.

negotiator than somebody who wants to find compromise. A bit arrogant

:05:45.:05:49.

and that is something David Davis is accused of. They have some kind of

:05:50.:05:55.

chemistry. They worked together before in previous years and they

:05:56.:05:58.

are going to need to use that chemistry to get over lots of big

:05:59.:06:04.

bumps in the road. Let's not forget, we are just in phase one of these

:06:05.:06:10.

negotiations which is when they work out the divorce issues like the

:06:11.:06:15.

so-called exit Bell where the United Kingdom will have to pay its

:06:16.:06:20.

financial liabilities that the leaves, but the UK desperately wants

:06:21.:06:23.

to move to stage two when it talks about the future with the EU which

:06:24.:06:27.

is its biggest trading partner, so it is anxious to get past these

:06:28.:06:33.

details to move on stage two. Something curious about this process

:06:34.:06:38.

and that every few steps of the way we are publicly told how it is going

:06:39.:06:43.

and it is consumed in all these different arenas which in turn

:06:44.:06:45.

reflects back on what happens in Brussels and makes it horribly

:06:46.:06:51.

complicated? You can see that David Davis is very aware that he has a

:06:52.:06:54.

big domestic audience for whatever he says year, never mind with the EU

:06:55.:07:00.

negotiators when it comes to Brexit. When we look at Michel Barnier and

:07:01.:07:07.

what he can or cannot do, it is important to remember his hands are

:07:08.:07:12.

tied because he is told very clearly by the other countries what he can

:07:13.:07:18.

and cannot do. So he gets his instructions on them and has to

:07:19.:07:23.

report back to them and also needs the European Parliament on site.

:07:24.:07:29.

This is a very political process whereas normally trade agreements

:07:30.:07:34.

between the EU and other countries is left to the technocrats and the

:07:35.:07:38.

lawyers but there are a lot of politicians involved and that is why

:07:39.:07:43.

it is so complicated. For more information you know where to go.

:07:44.:07:49.

Let's talk about some important research on dementia that has come

:07:50.:07:55.

out. A third of dementia cases could be prevented if people looked after

:07:56.:08:01.

their brain. A study has come out with nine risk factors for dementia.

:08:02.:08:07.

Some of them relate to physical health like diabetes and physical

:08:08.:08:12.

inactivity. That is also the level of education and social isolation as

:08:13.:08:17.

factors. We are told as well that 47 million people in the world

:08:18.:08:21.

unaffected by dementia now but over the next few years around 131

:08:22.:08:30.

million could be affected by 2050. The proportion of sufferers in low

:08:31.:08:33.

and middle income countries is expected to go up. I am told know

:08:34.:08:44.

what is seen as being new in this report. This is a report by the

:08:45.:08:47.

Lancet commission and it is actually very important and summarises the

:08:48.:08:55.

body of evidence on multiple aspects of dementia research and clear, and

:08:56.:08:59.

probably one of the most important things is about dementia prevention.

:09:00.:09:05.

It has been an accumulating field in the space of the last 10-15 years,

:09:06.:09:11.

accumulating research. The report goes at it in a very systematic way

:09:12.:09:17.

to tell us about what other risk factors throughout life for

:09:18.:09:20.

Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Such things as Italy

:09:21.:09:25.

childhood education, midlife factors such as hypertension and obesity and

:09:26.:09:32.

lately factors such as diabetes and exercise, which is actually

:09:33.:09:37.

throughout life. Smoking and other risk factors. We have ranked them

:09:38.:09:40.

together as they scorer and tell us which risk factors might have the

:09:41.:09:44.

most important impact on preventing dementia. The commission also

:09:45.:09:51.

summarises some of the data on the strength of its evidence in terms of

:09:52.:09:55.

how likely is it that we really can prevent dementia, and they conclude

:09:56.:10:00.

that about 35% of all dementia cases could be prevented with proper

:10:01.:10:07.

intervention and treatment. Along the lines of the things we have just

:10:08.:10:12.

discussed. Is it your hope that the study may influence how governments

:10:13.:10:18.

spend their money? Although there has been a tremendous amount of

:10:19.:10:23.

research on prevention of dementia, it hasn't really been

:10:24.:10:27.

institutionalised and accepted by national bodies, for example, and

:10:28.:10:32.

being able to have the strength of evidence for public health messages.

:10:33.:10:39.

The was recently a study published in a medical Journal actually

:10:40.:10:43.

concluded that risk and rate of dementia is actually going down even

:10:44.:10:47.

though the number of cases is going up, because the population is

:10:48.:10:51.

ageing. The actual rate at a particular age is going down, and

:10:52.:10:55.

this has been associated with improvements in education and

:10:56.:10:57.

lifestyle over the last 30 years or so. That is actually evidence that

:10:58.:11:02.

dementia prevention can be an achievable goal. There are going to

:11:03.:11:08.

be people watching this and to view all over the world thinking what are

:11:09.:11:12.

the most important things for me to do to try to avoid having dementia

:11:13.:11:16.

in later life? What would you say to them? I think if they had in midlife

:11:17.:11:24.

which is actually the time that Alzheimer's disease starts, that the

:11:25.:11:28.

most important thing is to not be sedentary, to have lifelong

:11:29.:11:36.

exercise. Don't be alone, remain occupationally and socially involved

:11:37.:11:40.

throughout life. Considered lifelong learning, build your brain

:11:41.:11:45.

throughout life. When people have cognitive reserve the better able be

:11:46.:11:52.

resilient against old-age brain diseases like Alzheimer's and

:11:53.:11:54.

vascular dementia. If you have hypertension and diabetes, make sure

:11:55.:12:00.

you teach those comorbidities because they are also risk factor

:12:01.:12:04.

this land effect of drugs. Some are better than others. For example,

:12:05.:12:10.

there is evidence that some hypertensives have neuroprotective

:12:11.:12:12.

effects and our organisation is conducting studies of these protect

:12:13.:12:21.

your anti-attempts ofs and diabetic agents. That is the future of how we

:12:22.:12:26.

are going to use treatments for these medical comorbidities to

:12:27.:12:29.

prevent dementia in future. But take care of yourself and lead a heart

:12:30.:12:33.

healthy lifestyle and in late life and throughout life, don't smoke,

:12:34.:12:39.

avoid obesity, eat a Mediterranean diet and live a healthy lifestyle.

:12:40.:12:42.

Those of the most important thing is that people can do. We typically

:12:43.:12:47.

think of those things as protecting our heart but they are just as

:12:48.:12:49.

effective in protecting our brains. Thank you. Time for sport and they

:12:50.:12:56.

begin with the G. First day of the open has gone very well for the

:12:57.:12:58.

Americans including Jordan Spieth. It is the one everyone wants to win.

:12:59.:13:07.

The oldest major, the Open Championship, but with the biggest

:13:08.:13:13.

prize comes the biggest challenge. Not for American Charley Hoffman. He

:13:14.:13:22.

had just about the best start. An eagle on the first. In typically

:13:23.:13:26.

British conditions it was Englishman Ian Poulter who set the early pace

:13:27.:13:34.

with his best start to a major. Henrik Stenson said some of the best

:13:35.:13:37.

golf the Open Championship as seen on his way to lifting the Claret Jug

:13:38.:13:43.

but as defending champion it was a modest first round. Despite this on

:13:44.:13:46.

the seventh he finished one under par. The first day was all about the

:13:47.:13:53.

Americans, Jordan Spieth leading from the front. After winning

:13:54.:13:58.

back-to-back majors in 2015 he hasn't hit the same heights since,

:13:59.:14:03.

but he was back on song at Royal Birkdale especially on the greens.

:14:04.:14:10.

And by lunchtime on the one at five under without dropping a shot,

:14:11.:14:16.

Jordan Spieth was the man to catch. Newly crowned US Open champion

:14:17.:14:19.

Brooks Koepka wasn't far behind, picking his way out of trouble and

:14:20.:14:24.

then to be sheared off the lead on five under. Enter the afternoon as

:14:25.:14:30.

the weather improved so did the golf. Matt Kuchar racing out of the

:14:31.:14:36.

blocks, four under after the first six, another American sharing the

:14:37.:14:42.

lead. 2014 champion Rory McIlroy was peered with world number one Dustin

:14:43.:14:47.

Johnson. A dream for fans but it turned into a nightmare for Rory

:14:48.:14:51.

McIlroy. A bogey on the opening hole, his first of five in six. But

:14:52.:14:59.

with a much better back nine he managed to keep himself in

:15:00.:15:07.

contention, just. A big day in the Tour de France, arguably the

:15:08.:15:10.

biggest, the last day in the Alps in the last chance that any of the

:15:11.:15:13.

contenders to get the yellow jersey from Chris Froome. They didn't

:15:14.:15:23.

manage it. He has just about done it? Very much so. If you were a

:15:24.:15:29.

betting man you would say he is pretty much over the line, a very

:15:30.:15:33.

happy defending champion in the shape of Chris Froome after stage

:15:34.:15:38.

18. The Team Sky rider taking that giant step towards what would have

:15:39.:15:41.

been an incredible fourth Tour de France title. 23 seconds adrift of

:15:42.:15:56.

the Brit in second place. The second stage when at this year and he just

:15:57.:16:01.

needs to cross the line on Sunday to be confirmed King of the Mountains.

:16:02.:16:06.

Mean while this is how it looks. Fear to see the final day in the

:16:07.:16:17.

mountains is probably Bardet's last realistic chance to catch Chris

:16:18.:16:21.

Froome but they didn't do it. Chris Froome is expected to extend his

:16:22.:16:25.

advantage, so it looks like another title in the offing and with a

:16:26.:16:31.

fourth win in five years in the oldest and most prestigious of

:16:32.:16:36.

cycling tours, he is continuing to write his name in the history books.

:16:37.:16:43.

Some other things to talk about, the women's World Cup in cricket, do we

:16:44.:16:48.

have the final line-up? And England - in the final after the Indians

:16:49.:16:52.

beat defending champions Australia by 36 runs. Victory very much set up

:16:53.:17:00.

by an astonishing innings, 20 boundaries and seven sixes on her

:17:01.:17:08.

way to a mammoth. The final is on Sunday, brilliant year to sell it,

:17:09.:17:11.

England have only lost one match at this competition, against India in

:17:12.:17:15.

the opening games promises to be a cracker. And an update on the

:17:16.:17:24.

women's euros? Two-time champions Norway on the brink of elimination

:17:25.:17:27.

after a surprise 2-0 defeat by Belgium. They have got to beat

:17:28.:17:32.

Denmark now but the hosts themselves have kept their 100% record. They

:17:33.:17:38.

are looking good for the knockout stages. Thanks very much. Much more

:17:39.:17:50.

sport to come. A few months ago, some really sad news came in from

:17:51.:18:00.

Los Angeles. About the lead singer of Linkin Park. We will speak to

:18:01.:18:08.

Steve Holden of Radio 1, the lead singer of Linkin Park dying at the

:18:09.:18:20.

age of 41. The government has been accused of betraying passengers

:18:21.:18:22.

after shelving plans to electrify major railways in Wales and the

:18:23.:18:31.

Midlands. It has been beset by delays and after years of wrangling

:18:32.:18:35.

finally cancelled. Today an angry response from the region's

:18:36.:18:38.

politicians. There were clear promises made, not just that it

:18:39.:18:45.

might happen. Communities are promised, MPs were promised, the

:18:46.:18:50.

Secretary of State for Transport should come to their toes and

:18:51.:18:52.

explain to each and every of us and each and every one of these

:18:53.:18:57.

communities why it is that he has gone back on this promise. The

:18:58.:19:02.

criticism crosses party lines. We were promised five years ago the

:19:03.:19:06.

whole line would be electrified and we have many thousands using these

:19:07.:19:10.

services every day. Millions of people moving into this part of the

:19:11.:19:16.

world. They want good, reliable train services are now we will get

:19:17.:19:19.

some improvements but not everything. It is hard to find any

:19:20.:19:24.

business people are politicians in the East Midlands and entirely happy

:19:25.:19:29.

about today's announcement. The government insists it is the best

:19:30.:19:33.

way forward for passengers. This promotional video argues the new

:19:34.:19:37.

hybrid trains will lead to faster and more comfortable journeys.

:19:38.:19:41.

Ministers say there is no more no need for the travel disruption that

:19:42.:19:49.

electrification would have caused. It reflects how advances in

:19:50.:19:53.

technology are enabling a different approach that is less disruptive to

:19:54.:19:58.

passengers and the communities. Business leaders will take some

:19:59.:20:05.

convincing. They have to carry both diesel and electric powertrains and

:20:06.:20:07.

therefore they are slower to accelerate and brake and therefore

:20:08.:20:12.

perhaps feels like they might be getting you were serviced and we

:20:13.:20:15.

have now. And what of the wider economic impact? Will Ross at used

:20:16.:20:21.

as the line every day between his home in Leicester and his job in

:20:22.:20:26.

Nottingham. It is yet another example of short-term cost savings

:20:27.:20:34.

being placed before a long-term economic and environmental benefit.

:20:35.:20:37.

Some say the East Midlands is a forgotten region and on the last day

:20:38.:20:41.

of parliament before summer this announcement seems an afterthought.

:20:42.:20:51.

The lead story is that OJ Simpson has been granted early release by a

:20:52.:21:02.

parole board after serving nine of a 33 year jail sentence for armed

:21:03.:21:09.

robbery. Let me show you this tweet from Paul Rose, from the Royal

:21:10.:21:13.

geographical Society. I thought it would be there. He is telling us

:21:14.:21:18.

plastic pollution risks near permanent position of our natural

:21:19.:21:23.

environment. That is a response to a US report today estimating that

:21:24.:21:28.

since the 1950s human beings are produced more than 8 billion tonnes

:21:29.:21:32.

of plastic. Any number of ways we could try to illustrate how much

:21:33.:21:35.

that is but it is enough to cover Argentina. An awful lot. One of the

:21:36.:21:42.

multiple problems were told us plastic is that for one we to use a

:21:43.:21:46.

lot of it only once and throw it away. What can individuals do send

:21:47.:21:52.

response? This is a plastics specialist. The individual consumer

:21:53.:21:59.

can take our own coffee cups, we can bring our own bags to the

:22:00.:22:04.

supermarket. We can shop in places that provide the products in

:22:05.:22:08.

accordance with our values. If we don't want a lot of packaging we can

:22:09.:22:13.

buy in bulk and support the manufacturers that are making the

:22:14.:22:16.

decisions that support the values that we have, so vote and choose

:22:17.:22:22.

with your wallet. I think we can make very smart consumer decisions

:22:23.:22:29.

and it is important to dig deep and ask the right questions and check in

:22:30.:22:32.

and validate the information from the manufacturers and the inverse De

:22:33.:22:37.

Smet is we are seeing, but there are many things that each and everyone

:22:38.:22:41.

of us do, and that is a real difference with the plastic

:22:42.:22:46.

pollution problem. It is a solvable, tractable problem that each and

:22:47.:22:49.

everyone of us can make decisions on that be effective.

:22:50.:22:51.

Forensic experts in Spain are exhuming the body of Salvador Dali.

:22:52.:22:54.

It's to extract DNA for a paternity test.

:22:55.:22:56.

That's happening because a woman in her sixties says her mother had

:22:57.:22:59.

In the mid-19 60s this was an abandoned theatre that Salvador Dali

:23:00.:23:14.

identified as the perfect place to show off all his artworks but not

:23:15.:23:20.

just that, to create the ultimate Salvador Dali experience, which he

:23:21.:23:23.

ended up liking so much he decided to be buried here. So when he died

:23:24.:23:34.

in 1989 his body was embalmed and placed in a coffin and he was buried

:23:35.:23:38.

here in this theatre museum just beneath the old stage. This memorial

:23:39.:23:44.

stone want to be disturbed by the excavation. It's decided the best

:23:45.:23:53.

way to access it is from above. This is the entry point, a 1.5 tonne and

:23:54.:23:58.

Mark stolen which will be eased aside and the coffin opened and a

:23:59.:24:06.

sample taken. It is a process they reckon Baltic pretty much all night.

:24:07.:24:12.
